    Nurse Arrested For DUI, Sober But Exhausted After 12 hr COVID Shift

    beachynurse replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I never claim to know more than any other person, however, I am very familiar with this particular medication. I take it, my children take it, and as a school nurse, I administer it to several...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    beachynurse replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily, but if the requests continue and the unit continues to change his assignments and he is qualified to do the job, he may be able to claim harm to his professional reputation, ability...

    Nurse Arrested For DUI, Sober But Exhausted After 12 hr COVID Shift

    beachynurse replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    It does NOT have this effect with driving. This person does not know anything about Adderall. I have serious ADD/ADHD, it is rampant in my family. If I don't take my Adderall on a daily basis, people...

    Nurse Arrested For DUI, Sober But Exhausted After 12 hr COVID Shift

    beachynurse replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    Ummm, Adderall should not make you sleepy. If properly prescribed and dosed, it is supposed to help with focus and attention, but if you are totally exhausted, it's not going to help that. It wouldn't...

    Nurse Arrested For DUI, Sober But Exhausted After 12 hr COVID Shift

    beachynurse replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I do have sympathy for her. They did not have a breathalyzer in order to see if there was any alcohol on her breath, to be followed up with another one done prior to her being booked at the jail. If...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    beachynurse replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    This is where the hospital needs to walk a tightrope. They need to make sure that they don't violate the nurse's rights, and also ensure that they meet the patients needs. Personally, I do not...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    beachynurse replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    I find this absolute rejection of male nurses in Ob to be a sexist and discriminatory one. You won't accept a male nurse, but you will accept a male MD to deliver.

    School nurse interview

    beachynurse replied to futureRN09's topic in School

    I wouldn't get my hopes up to be disappointed, but it's worth trying. I know my school division will only look at your full time work experience and not consider part time or per-diem work. But once...

    Can Non-Licensed Individual Supervise RN and LVN?

    beachynurse replied to Nonie76's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am, which does make things difficult sometimes. I am a school nurse and my direct supervisor is an administrator with absolutely zero medical experience or knowledge. It can make for some...

    Cheating Classmates

    beachynurse replied to Hazex6's topic in General Students

    First of all, I hate to be the English teacher, I am sorry for being critical, but your post was very hard to read with no punctuation to define sentences, and there was no paragraph structure....

    Potential BSN - background

    beachynurse replied to Samanthaaaaa's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    My best advice is to call your state board and talk to someone there, or even better, contact an attorney who specializes in defending Nurses. Maybe you can find one that gives free

    I'm 55 - Is it too late to become a nurse?

    beachynurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Start looking at local nursing schools and see what their requirements for admission are. See if you can take any of the prerequisite classes at a community college to save money. When you take...

    When Delegation is Unsuccessful

    beachynurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having a hard time understanding why you would ask 6 people to follow up on the labs. Doesn't the patient have a nurse 24/7? The nurse that has the patient for the shift the labs come in is...

    Can a Diploma RN write the NCLEX?

    beachynurse replied to merrisooc's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm pretty sure that to write for the NCLEX you have to have a minimum of a Masters in Nursing

    Part-time School Nursing?

    beachynurse replied to SmallStateSchoolNurse's topic in School

    Our division used to hire nurses to job share and let them work out a schedule that would give them equal hours. But two nurses couldn't get along with making a schedule and ruined it for anyone else....

    What School Nurses REALLY Do?

    beachynurse replied to Kittery's topic in School

    I also don't recommend school nursing for new grads. As a permanent part timer you would still be working alone. At least in my large school division with 82 schools. You would be splitting the job...

    How some kids are being raised...

    beachynurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I taught at the Community College level and I couldn't believe the lack of responsibility that was in my younger students. A month after my class ends, I get a phone call from a student, "I forgot to...

    I'm in a high school and get the same questions! We have 2 rooms in the clinic, 1 waiting room for the students to wait for parents in, and the other is a screening room/ Nursing room for staff. The...

    Breaking FERPA? I feel Dumb

    beachynurse replied to Avill's topic in School

    She should be the one to update you. If the student isn't in school he could very well be in a psych hospital, and she should let you know that. I work in a high school with our own Psychologist, and...

    Where to Draw the Line...?

    beachynurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    My school division is non-union, and I don't get phone calls on my off time unless it is a dire emergency. But then again, I have set boundaries with staff, and parents. If I receive a call it will be...

    Student Burned At School

    beachynurse replied to Googlenurse's topic in School

    I totally agree. I give care first. I look at it as this way I can give the parent the whole picture, what the burn looked like, what I did to take care of it. 1 phone call to wrap it up, and the...

    Looking for advice

    beachynurse replied to Heavenlee75's topic in School

    I've been a school nurse for 18 years, and can't imagine doing anything else. I took a hefty pay cut, but if I had to do it over again I would make the same

    How to handle difficult co workers when you're the new kid on the block?

    beachynurse replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I simply don't understand this kind of behavior in what are supposed to be professionals. We should all be striving for the same goals, the well being of our patients. In doing that it takes nurses...
